Hey everybody! Since it’s April Fools this week:
Welcome to “Evil Anonymous”, a new support group for troubled villains, where NO problem is too big or too deranged for Dr. Quinzel to use against youhandle.
We’ll also be returning to Harley’s first solo series! When we last left Harley & Ivy, they had moved to Metropolis, and just met Bizzaro. What could possible go wrong?
Harley Quinn (2000) 17-19 (If you missed our previous reading, the entire Metropolis storyline is Issues 14-19)
We’ll spend the first week reading (3/29–4/4), then discuss on the second week (4/5–4/11). Good, bad, or ugly—don’t be shy. Drop your thoughts below when you’re ready!

I tend to love pretty much everything I read DC wise. But all of those SS specials (imho) were awesome . I’ll need to reread that HQ 17-19 it’s probably been since not long after it came out, since I’ve inhaled that. To go off subject for one second. The new issues of HQ Black + White + Red were delicious . One of the very 1st panels, with Ivy talking about cornflakes encapsulates why I love the art in those sooo much. I’ll reread those HQs #17-#19 & give some feedback. Spoiler alert. I’m gonna love it …
Ummm…so I just went to read #17-#19. Somehow I’ve never read this comic, period, besides the crossover issues. Underworld Unleashed etc. I can’t believe it. I’m so excited. I read #14-#19 for the full arc. But this is the 1st time ever on here- that I won’t be rereading a book club event!!! I so want to finish em today but I’ll behave. I’ll read #1-#13 & leave the rest for read alongs.
It is interesting as the last few stories I have read have been introductions for Superman to Joker in Justice League Totality and then to Harley in this reading.
And the classic logo for Superman! Well done Harley!
Also very interesting conversations between Jimmy and Harley. Jimmy should have also known better after all he and Harley went through to also stand by a whole in the wall in a very tall building.
Thorn versus Ivy was also very interesting, and talk about a Bizarro Harley!
I read it that day & told u I’d never read any of the issues except the crossover issues & didn’t realize it lol. I loved it (surprise) I actually used a ton of things for out of context chaos, fun real adds advertisements etc. so I know what u mean about blue humor. Even when they weren’t being blue I used things for out of context chaos. Are we gonna keep reading this? Cuz it’s literally the 1st thing I haven’t read & I’ll wait & read with the group. But if we aren’t I’ll inhale it.
I read 1-19 just in case we’re gonna keep reading it. I can’t believe I’ve 𝐧𝐞𝐯𝐞𝐫 read it b4? I started on the earliest one on here & read everything by year of release. Idk how I missed it or how idk that I missed it? At least I have something to look forward to?
17-19 was a lot of fun – it was neat to see Harley in such a radically different environment like Metropolis. It’s funny, because of the delay between reading issues, I kinda forgot what Harley’s beef with Jimmy Olsen was.
Also, I didn’t quite understand what Ivy’s beef was with Thorn? Was it literally because she also had a plant based name?
We will be finishing it (for posterity) but we have a couple things lined up for Earth Day, catching up w/ B+W+R and Pride mixed in to that, so totally up to you if you’re all right w/ waiting. I understand if you’d rather just git it dun! You can always come by when we do read them to share your thoughts. We love when you come hang out @capo-mage
Awww… I love hanging out with this group too!!! Ok, I’ll probably wait & read em with the group. @Jay_Kay since I read 1-14 yesterday & it’s fresh on my mind. Thorn snuck into Harley’s slumber party & tried to take some of them out. Than in #14-#19 Ivy had finally gotten her & I believe there was some jealousy, or remarks about her name, lol.
Yes indeed u will . I was so tempted to inhale those today, but there’s tons of other options to hold me over. Plus I’ll get to discuss while it’s fresh in my brain…
I liked this issue a lot. Didn’t know where it was going (even tho I should have, lol!!) I liked that Harley really believed she could help people again, and wanted to go back to her Doctor duties. This scene w/ Man-Bat was great:
The art during the therapy sessions was fun, and changed gears in a good way—Harley’s cartoon version of everything, how she understands/sees her fellow bad guys. I dig it :
Then things take a turn and I loved everything about it. Points for not going down w/o a fight, Harls , but also for this (very relevant to a Madhouse discussion from yesterday about “perspective”) scene w/ the Justice League:
Then we see what’s really going on, and I think: I should’ve known Waller was up to something! Of course this isn’t real and is only a way to understand/manipulate the team! I’ve mentioned this wasnt my first impression of Waller and while I enjoy this version, would like to see the character a touch less shady once in a while. Also OUCH! That contraption looked painful af.
Anyone else check it out?? See, this is when I need @TheCosmicMoth to talk SS w/ me! Hey Moth!!
